nights i can t remember, friends i ll never forget

Toby Keith

(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)

Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan
Werenââ?¬â?¢t we some bad mothers, closer than brothers
Had a rockinââ?¬â?¢ little three-piece band
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women
Then we tried to sing ââ?¬Ë?em pretty for the girls
Pushinââ?¬â?¢ everythinââ?¬â?¢ we did to the limit
Livinââ?¬â?¢ right out on the edge of the world.

I recall on summer night at a party
We were sophomores hanginââ?¬â?¢ out by the lake
I got off on some wine with a waitress
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldnââ?¬â?¢t wait
JB hooked up around midnight
With an ugly girl from up in the city
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
Just tryinââ?¬â?¢ to drink that poor thing pretty.

Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise
And we, sang all our songs for free
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way lookinââ?¬â?¢ back on the good days
Thereââ?¬â?¢s still not a lot I regret
Nights I Canââ?¬â?¢t Remember, Friends Iââ?¬â?¢ll Never Forget.

I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL
Sonnyââ?¬â?¢s got a good life, a baby and a good wife
And everyday he carries the mail
JB is a cross-country trucker
And he called last night from South Carolina
He said I fallen in love with a waitress
That I met at a Waffle House diner.

He said the years seem to roll on faster
Than they did back when we were kids
Then we need us a break from the grindstone
Thatââ?¬â?¢s exactly what we did.

We put in a phone call to Sonny
Then we stayed out all night long
We drank a few cold ones, then told a few old ones
And sang another verse to the song.

Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noise
And we, sang all our songs for free
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way lookinââ?¬â?¢ back on the good days
Thereââ?¬â?¢s still not a lot I regret
Thereââ?¬â?¢s some Nights I Canââ?¬â?¢t Remember, with Friends Iââ?¬â?¢ll Never Forget.

All those Nights I Canââ?¬â?¢t Remember, Friends Iââ?¬â?¢ll Never Forget.
